    If you use Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant to transfer your data from another PC or Mac, your photos and your music will be transferred if you have selected the folders that contains those files.

     

    The time depends of the amount of data you have to transfer and the way you use to do it (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Thunderbolt, FireWire or an external drive with FireWire or USB). In this case, the fastest is Thunderbolt (but it requires 2011 or newer Macs), and the slowest is Wi-Fi
